The People's Republic of Everything Decided at Random is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by some bloke who won the raffle with an even hand, and notable for its frequent executions, suspicion of poets, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 7.748 billion Randomians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arbitraria. The average income tax rate is 80.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Randomian economy, worth 654 trillion legal tenders a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Soda Sales industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Pizza Delivery. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 84,513 legal tenders, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Safe drinking water is considered a luxury, the government's official stance on religion is that it is so very silly, people are moving into treehouses in record numbers, and the government keeps introducing new foreign species to combat the previous ones it has introduced. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Everything Decided at Random's national animal is the Boghog, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Gambling.

Everything Decided at Random is ranked 57,044^th in the world and 677^th in The North Pacific for Most Corrupt Governments, with 41.21 kickbacks per hour.
